HPSP Eligibility Question

It says on all the armed forces website that the applicant has to "Be a citizen of the United States", my question is, if you are a Legal Permanent Resident and are a handful of months away from your US citizenship, could the applicant still apply?

Talk to the recruiters. I think as long as you are a citizen by the time you sign up it should be fine.

EDIT:
I think you can be eligible if you are a permanent resident.

Not according to the Navy, AF and Army recruits I talked too. All said that I need to the a US Citizen to become an Officers or a Military Personnel. Can you share exactly how LPR can qualify towards that program?
